About Us

The Bay Area Soccer Association, established in 1995, is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization operating in Bay County, Michigan. Run entirely by volunteers, BASA provides soccer training and programs for over 1,000 youth players aged 4 to 19.

Growing our community through a love of Soccer.

To have fun and build friendships while developing great soccer players on and off the field.

PRIDE - Through our positive actions and words, we honor the game and its officials, as well as our club, coaches, teammates, opponents and supporters.

INTEGRITY - Honestly and respectfully, we are consistent and act in ways that honor ourselves and others. We follow rules without exception and set goals for continuous improvement.

SPORTSMANSHIP - We play the game with passion and fairness. We win, lose or draw with dignity and respect...always.

TEAMWORK - We believe the logo on the front of the jersey means as much as the number on the back. We work together to foster an environment where children of all abilities and backgrounds have an opportunity to play and compete. We support each other on and off the field.

FUN - We never forget our golden rule: soccer is meant to be fun. While we strive to make education and development pillars of our programs, we don't lose sight of why most kids play the game - for fun.

Bay Area Soccer Association offers two seasons of recreational soccer annually for players aged 4 to 15. The Fall Season runs from mid-September to the end of October, while the Spring Season spans from late April to early June, culminating in our Annual BASA Spring Recreational Tournament.
